That's Riot's not so subtle way of saying "buy Rylai's"

I think the intention is to limit his fairly non-interactive harass and encourage combos with his w. Make him work for that damage or pick up a Rylai's.

I think once I get an S I'll hop back into ranked(So never)
What's the Rune set up for Jhin look like anyways? Been using standard AD reds/quints, health yellows, cdr blues
Yeah, I think this is insightful. "Assassins" would be a lot more fun to play with and against if they were more, like, "tricksters." Ekko was kind of supposed to be a big investigation into taking assassins in that direction. I am not really sure how they feel about the results -- on the one hand it's not like Ekko is worthless, but on the other hand it's kind of too good and he mostly builds in a way that other assassins don't. Also Fizz is already a super tricky, relatively low-burst assassin I thought.
This actually speaks to why Talon is such an unsatisfying assassin even when he's good -- suicide bomber is actually not what assassins generally do in League.
Items seems right but it's tricky -- like, they already tried encouraging CC champs to itemize for better CC with AP ratio slows and such and they seem to have more or less given up on that. But yeah, if you want assassin trickiness to scale with feeding then they need tricky items to buy. Maybe the Hextech stuff can provide some of that? But I guess not for AD assassins.
lol, measure once, cut twice. It's a skill, not a talent! (Alternate metaphor, look in the mirror and take three things off.)

How many balls for nuSyndra's ult?
Stone Ocean

Same number as before, but it's easier to get a 7 ball ult now
I thought the system was if someone on your team got the S then whatever champ you're playing gets tagged or whatever for the year for a chest? Or do you have to actually get the S on the champ?
You or someone in your premade, not just your team

That'd be stupid if that's how it works
I haven't gotten an S yet(about 15 games played since I rejoined), so I wouldn't know. I'm using the 'rank' as a 'You're good enough to rank again' system anyways.
Well, honestly boys are actually decent at dodging compared to lower Eli players, better even in some cases.
you're welcome nat
might require some tuning, but they don't want viktor to be a burst mage the way he is now, which is instant aoe insanity.
the idea seems to be to combo it with stasis field or team setup if you want massive burst, while keeping the damage high allows you to have really strong waveclear. or yea, get rylais
it might be down to tuning, maybe it's not 1.25, but 1s, idk
i think the idea is solid, i love viktor, but he's dumb, this is a healthier direction for him as a more dps thing rather than burst. you deal a bunch more dmg than before so ppl need to gtfo your laser if they wanna live
yea trickster is a good word for that style of gameplay, the whole i'm shaco and i'm annoying as fuck is an aspect that i think could be made more relevant, although i bet it's pretty annoying
idk, it doesn't have to be items, it def could be inserted into reworks. take akali shroud, like, imagine if it was on an ammo system and she can have up to 3 at the same time but they don't last nearly as long as now and maybe you get ammo on kills
is that like a tyra banks thing
the max remains at 7 but it's gonna be much easier to get there specially after lvl 13
i'm playing ahri, you're playing thresh. you get an s-, i get a d cos i suck and fed
this gives me a chest for ahri if:
- we're on a premade
- i own ahri (important, you can't earn chests for free week champions you don't own)
- i'm below my monthly chests limit
- i didn't already unlock my ahri chest for this season
yeah i think the changes are in the right direction, but still need some fine tuning, especially the laser which is pretty much his signature ability
You've seen my posts right? You don't have anything to say?
Of course I put a lot of effort into my toxicity. Good toxicity takes finesse.
Also congrats Kayos on making it back to gold.
You're doing it wrong. This is cringe worthy.

A trickster class
It could work
His ultimate would be where the ulted target only sees tricksters instead of his team/ enemy team, and he could attack his own teammates

Who would be the Prince of league? Ez?
Yeah I played only norms last season and feel like I regressed. I've switched over to ranked exclusively this season and I've grown so much. The games are just so much more competitive and mistakes are punished so much harder.

I should play ranked
You may as well just jump in. Your mmr will eventually normalize to where you should be

So what youre saying is that the system will put me back in Diamond 2
I got better playing only normals. I played normals for like 6 months when I started playing just before half way through season 4 and got to Gold 2 without any problems. Played normals again for a couple of months and got to plat 2. Then stopped playing ranked again while only playing normals and got to Diamond 5 from plat 2 in 1 and a bit days at the very end of the last season. Now I'm D4 with no real problems yet. I haven't really felt like people are better than me at D4 yet.
It is.
You should. After so many seasons of just getting gold then going back to normals for whatever reason, I've been playing exclusively ranked unless I'm playing in houses or with Achtius.
The games are better. They're more closely matched, the stat tracking is better and people generally put a little more effort into it. The little number goes up and down but in general I've been climbing. It will be interesting to see where I end up eventually (at my pace of 3-4 games a week we're talking a long eventually.)
i mean, yeah, let's back up a bit
the biggest part of getting better is mentality. if you're in a learning mentality you'll take a ton from each game, if you're in a "waa waaa my teammates" attitude you won't get far no matter if it's normals or ranked
that being said, i've found the quality of opponents i've faced in ranked to be much higher than in normals and i've personally seen myself get a lot better in mechanics specially back when i played ranked, and i've felt that i've lost a lot of that skill in these two years that i've been playing the game in a more laid back way mostly playing normals
so yea it's a mix of both, but i feel if you want to improve ranked is the place you should go to because the match quality is gonna be better (doesn't mean it'll be good)

Let jax being unbanned.....destroyed our team because our Fortune was doing an AS build
Syndra:
i think im gonna update my pbe and try her out against bots or something
Guardian Angel
this means you need 600 ap to deal the same dmg as before, to champions at least but idk

Guardian Angel
interesting, 60 mr was actually a lot, that's kinda cray. i think it's a positive change overall

Umm it depends on the learning your talking about. Like learning a champ normals is the best place just to get a handle on the champ. Things like CS and trading are better to learn in ranked.
yea im talking about deeper learning of game strategy, general mechanics/champion mechanics, builds, objectives, playing from behind, etc. are better learned in ranked
more superficial stuff like learning the basics of a champion for sure you can get a very good idea over normals
Stone Ocean

Ranked is better for learning because matchmaking isn't lopsided as teams are for the most part on even playing fields until high elos.
Normals on the other hand have a different MMR value and generally people tend to stay in one queue or the other for the most part so this makes matches have stupid team compositions. The last match I played was like this
Silver 4
Gold 3
Gold 2
Unranked
Plat 4
Unranked
Silver 1
Masters
Silver 5
Silver 2
How do you expect someone in silver/gold to get better by getting their ass handed to them by a master player? Sure, we won because the master player was a support main in a solo lane but still, match quality in normals is just awful.

pre-30 is an interesting world
filled with things that really shouldn't work but they somehow do
Yeah, that's a pretty big while. You'd think they were play testing it with users right now. :b
While I do think there should be a detonation delay, it should be maybe half a second or .25 shorter than that.

It was .6 before which made it pretty much undodgeable, this is double that amount.
Has anyone fallen into spells where they don't want to play ranked? I've kind of hit that right now. Since I got to Silver I've been playing less ranked. And now that I've only been playing ARAM and the occasional Normal, I feel like I''ll do bad in a Ranked match. I still want to try climbing a lot more, but for some reason I don't get in the mood? I guess it's that.
yeah, that's pretty long. Would a Rylai's work to help get the hit in?
edit: whoa I'm way behind. Next time I'll just read how the page unfolds. Everyone pretty much talked about it.
